Why do people even get excited for Danny Garcia fights now?

[deanrw]

Garcia is a good fighter, but certain things bother him. He looks vulnerable to a well timed jab and straight punches.. Danny wants guys to attack, as he is not very good coming forward. He wants to counter guys coming at him with his hooks.

If Guerrero fought disciplined, I think he would have a good shot. The problem is he has not remembered to use his boxing skills for a long time and he will walk right into Danny's wheel house.

why do you put a limit on GGG taking on guys at 175 why not 265??

The guy comes in the ring as a light heavyweight....170+ fight night...Before he retires he'll at least have fought at 168 or higher a few times



Why do people act like its a bad thing when talking about GGG going up in weight eventually?

In all honesty Herrera beat him without a doubt and Lamont was just not a good look for him. I think if Guerrero uses the same strategy that Lamont used for the last rounds but does it right from the gate Danny will be in deep doodoo.

Many fighters have had close calls, he is a good young fighter who has shown he isn't afraid to fight the best whether he is favored or not...whats not to like?

I saw some of the fight, I'll have to watch it again tp gove my own assessment. I did see that Peterson fight and Guerrero isn't the body puncher nor slips and parrys punches as well as Peterson.

I never said I didn't like him. Guerrero has above average inside game and Danny doesn't seem to have any at all. If Guerrero smothers him and makes him fight on the inside from the gate, its over for Danny.

stop living in the past. garcia has been cherry picking for years. he's fighting guerrero for example and he just fought malignaggi. nothing but names. also he turned down the floyd fight when he was at his peak popularity.

Not a fair assessment, he's a former jr welterweight champion and is still undefeated. He is a world class fighter and deserves his respect, boxing is a business and there is not one fighter who has always fought the best of the best every single fight back to back. I would not be surprised if he become the number # 1 welterweight champion at welter to be honest.

He's not even the best fighter in the division. I think Porter, Brook, Bradley, Pacquaio, Thurman beat him. Depending on which Khan shows up he would take the rematch.

If you said he's one of the best in the world at the end of 2013 I'd agree with you but since then he's been terrible. Fighting Z level fighters and looking terrible against fringe contenders. Look at what Lucas did to Peterson compared to how much Garcia struggled against. Look at how other elite fighters took Paulie out of the fight compared to Garcia. They put Garcia against Paulie to get an easy finish but it was far from it.

He also got out of 140 just as it was heating up. Imagine what Crawford would have done to him, and he also ducked Postol.

"Danny got out of 140 as it was heating up"

Danny was the king of the division for years when people were saying its one of the best divisions in Boxing.

King? lol.

He had two good wins against Khan and Matthysse and then fought at catchweights and looked awful in most fights after.

He ducked Postol also who I think beats him.
